The genocide-enabling White House statement that it was "a measure of justice" that the Hezbollah leader was killed because his organization was "responsible for killing hundreds of Americans over a four-decade reign of terror" leads to a perilous slippery slope: It begs the question, would it not be "a measure of justice" if certain past operators in that same House were similarly treated because they were, after all, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis between 2003 and 2009 in the course of the criminal war and reign of terror they waged against that people in those years? And would it not be "a measure of justice" if certain operators in the present administration suffered a similar fate because they are deeply complicit in the deaths of tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in the genocidal reign of terror waged against them over the past year by their client state, Israel?

The arrogant stupidity of this present American administration in making such utterances is matched only by their callousness, and venality, and mendacity, and hypocrisy, and general bloodthirstiness. Didn't their mommies ever teach them to think before they speak, and to rather keep their mouths shut and be taken for fools than open them and remove all doubt?
